TORONTO -- An organization dedicated to supporting younger women with breast cancer is calling for a national standard of care for this population, whose severity of disease and treatment can differ significantly from their older counterparts.
In a report released Thursday, Rethink Breast Cancer said women ages 20 to 45 across the country should also have access to nurse navigators to help them through the process of diagnosis and treatment, while putting them in touch with community resources aimed at helping them deal with issues particular to their age group.
Results of a survey of 574 young Canadian women diagnosed with breast cancer or a recurrence of the disease found many have difficulty navigating the health-care system, finding similar-aged peers with the disease -- less than two-thirds were able to make this connection -- and getting proper referrals for fertility preservation.
"They feel that their concerns are maybe not taken as seriously by health-care providers," said M.J. Decoteau, executive director of Rethink Breast Cancer, which she founded 12 years ago. "We heard time and time again of young women (being told) 'Oh, you're too young to have breast cancer. We'll keep an eye on it.' "
In extreme cases, it took two to three years for some women to get diagnosed, said Decoteau, who was 22 when her mother died at age 48 of "extremely aggressive" breast cancer.
Once diagnosed, many younger women find it more difficult than older women to steer their way through the process of treatment and its aftermath, she said.
"Part of it is they maybe just don't have the life experience of someone in their 50s or 60s. So they're thrown into this upheaval at a very young age, trying to figure out what the doctor is saying. 'How do I get to treatment? What are all the things that are happening to me?' "
One of the issues emphasized in the report is that younger women often have a fast-growing and invasive form of breast cancer, which requires more intense treatment that leads to increased side-effects, said Decoteau, who co-authored the report.
"And having it at a life stage where you have this multi-purpose role -- you're maybe just starting a career, you're maybe just starting your family or you're trying to buy a house.
Decoteau said it was shocking to find half the young women surveyed, who were concerned about having children, were not sent to a specialist before treatment to discuss fertility preservation, such as removing and freezing some of their eggs. Chemotherapy can destroy a woman's ability to conceive.
"That's an example of something we'd like to see in a standard of care, so it just becomes a part of protocol."
Katie Evans of Ottawa was 26 when she learned she had breast cancer, but it took seven months to get that diagnosis. Now 28, Evans had found a golf- ball-size lump in her right breast. Her doctor told her that although it shouldn't be ignored, it was probably nothing to worry about because of her age and no family history of the disease.
She had a number of ultrasounds, but it wasn't until Evans was sent for a mammogram and subsequent biopsy that she got confirmation the lump was malignant. It had also spread to one of her lymph nodes.
"I felt as though if I had been 55, I would have been diagnosed within the first month," Evans said from Ottawa, where she is an administrator for a drugstore chain. "My age definitely had an impact on my delayed diagnosis."
She said it was hard to know where to turn. She felt alone. Any pamphlets explaining breast cancer, its treatment and advice on getting through the experience all had photos of older women on their covers, she said.
She didn't go to breast-cancer support groups because there were no other young women and her issues were so different from those of the older women attending.
Evans, who is engaged to be married, was referred to a fertility specialist before starting treatment, but decided against preserving her eggs because the drugs needed for harvesting them could fuel her estrogen-positive breast cancer. She now has a 40 per cent chance of conceiving.
"I probably cried more about that than I did when I heard I had cancer," said Evans, who chose to have a mastectomy, followed by six gruelling rounds of chemotherapy.

Franck Ribery stated that one of his prime considerations in moving to a club would be the opportunity to play in the CL. Well, his club Olympique Marseille made it to the CL after more than a decade, by finishing second in the French Ligue. But now Ribery is negotiating a move to Bayern Munich, whose fourth placed finish in the Bundesliga saw them failing to book a berth to the CL. It appears that OM and Bayern are close to a deal.
OM will probably get 25 million euros for Ribery and Bayern will get a partner for Luca Toni, the Fiorentina striker who is joining the club as part of a wholescale revamp of the squad by Uli Hoeness to get back to the top of the Bundesliga.

Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 89
Director: Dale Jordan
Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cindy Crawford, Ashton Moore, Dick Delaware, Tyce Bune, Tyler Faith, Talon (I), Chloe (I), Jenna Haze
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Push this for anal as well as the star power fan base of the individual performers.
Cincy Crawford and Tyce Bune set the depth for anal exploration. Good stuff. They are followed by the girl/girl anal toy time provided by Jenna Haze and Ashton Moore. Haze briefly holds the tool between her feet and uses it on herself -and seems surprised that she can accomplish this "feet feat". Such talent.
Tyler Faith appears in the next two scenes, and one is in a threesome with Chloe and stud. Chloe continues the back-to-back theme in an impressive multi-positional anal exercise with Talon. Cudos to them both for a strong "end" ending.

cupidgirl xx This is where you can post things about your characters wants/needs. For example; if your character is looking for a relationship or a date, you can say that they're single and wanting love/date etc. You can also ask for things like role-playing with a specific character, or if you are looking for members to take part in a certain group (such as a band). Basically this is to express anything that is 'wanted' by your character (hence the name) - it doesn't have to be in the example. [Idea by TheImmortalofAges] 7/25/2012 #1 |
Kit-Kat-KutieXD Lol, Immortal wanted this topic so that Josh doesn't have to put up with Brad being his drummer. What Brad needs is a training partner, particularly someone who's a pretty good fighter. :) 7/25/2012 #2 |
Rainali Calix may be a good choice :) 7/25/2012 #3 |
Kit-Kat-KutieXD Okay, well whenever he wants to train/duel, Brad will probably be in the training hall unless Rosemary is dragging him around xD 7/25/2012 #4 |
Artemis Faery I love drama, so, I would love if someones character would dig my male character Lee, it won't result in a realationship but I think it would be pretty fun to role play, and someone could also (If they wanted to) do that to my female character Z. Either way. 7/26/2012 #5 |
TheImmortalofAges John and josh could use companions Warning/disclaimer: general: I have weird hours, and I often don't get a chance to say when I'm going to leave. John: Needs to be someone (gender non-important) who can deal with a shapeshifter who is working to control homicidal tendencies, and can help him deal with having been a cold-blooded killer. Must be ready to accept that he may get killed off. Must be reasonably intelliegnt, as John is extremely smart, and talking to someone with the smarts of a krill would annoy him, and wouldn't help the unstabelness. Josh: Female for romantic pursuit, and can deal with having a boyfriend who can't look them in the eye, has an unstable power, and is a low class schizo, autistic. Love of music and working knowledge of sign language preferred, night person would be nice. Needs someone who can help him stay... anchored to reality, and to help him when he starts having panic attacks. Telapathy would be helpful to said person Band drummer for josh as of yet unnamed band. Name for aforementioned band Consulting on how to make a charecter less of a gary-stu in a story. 7/26/2012 #6 |
TheImmortalofAges Also, pm if interested in applying for anything. 7/26/2012 #7 |
cupidgirl xx I would so love to be Josh's girlfriend, but my characters are either too old or guys 7/26/2012 #8 |
TheImmortalofAges Jos is eighteen. So as long as the person isn't a cougar, or thirty, that'd be fine. . . . And female. 7/26/2012 #9 |
cupidgirl xx I'd make a new character up and let someone else have leonards, but she'd probably fail as a girlfriend for josh. Do you have to like her (as in you say yes or no?)? 7/26/2012 #10 |
TheImmortalofAges Me? No Josh, it would help. Understand, this would be a long term thing, as he sucks at talking to girls, and if he was signifigantly attracted, would be reduced to signing. 7/26/2012 #11 |
cupidgirl xx what kinda girl would he like? (or should i just give up?) 7/26/2012 #12 |
TheImmortalofAges long haired natural redheads, c cup, about 5' 11" 7/26/2012 #13 |

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. - The Florida Open always draws a strong contingent of foreign shooters and this year was no exception as the top five shooters all came from outside the U.S. with Serbia's Ljubisa Momcilovic walking away with the Production division title.Momcilovic won six of ten stages and held the lead on all but one stage, the first. His final winning score of 1504.8476 outpaced runner-up Jean-Philippe Drolet of Canada by more than 108 points."The Florida Open is one of those matches on the USPSA that always seems to draw top talent from around the world," explained Michael Voigt, president of the U.S. Practical Shooting Association."With this being a World Shoot year where we'll all gather for international competition later this fall, it's to be expected that we'd see increased interest in shooting here in the U.S. I with the entire USPSA membership in congratulating Ljubisa on his Production division win."Drolet, who won the ninth stage, finished second with a final score of 1396.0116. Taking third was the 2010 defending champion Galo Moreira of Ecuador, more than 60 points behind Drolet with 1335.5015.Nikolay Onshin of Russia and Vaclau Vindushka of the Czech Republic rounded out the top five finishing fourth and fifth with 1320.4461 and 1295.0319 respectively.Elsewhere in Production division competition, Svetlana Nikolaeva of Russia won the women's title with 944.6899. Andres Hrnciarik of the Slovak Republic was the high junior finishing 10th overall with 1185.8397. Among the seniors, Jose Orus of Ecuador took the Senior Production title with 892.6805 while Jean Dartois of Canada topped the super seniors in the match with 652.4351.The USPSA Florida Open Handgun Championship was held this past weekend at the Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Fla. and drew more 365 top competition shooters, including competitors from Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Norway, Russia, Serbia, the Slovak Republic and Spain.The next major match on the USPSA calendar is the 2011 Area 6 Regional Pistol Championship which will be held April 15-17 at the Universal Shooting Academy.

When Nick Clegg and David Cameron came into power, they promised they would end "the storage of internet and email regulations and email records without good reason".
This is one of the reasons that I cheered loudly when they beat Labour in the election - their promises to restore the country to the people and to stop the state intruding into our private lives.
Now I am reading stories announcing that they intend to pass a bill to "....preserve the ability of the security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies to obtain communication data and to intercept communications within the appropriate legal framework."
This doesn't specify what exactly will be done but it is widely expected to require every communications service provider to retain records of every web page you visit, every email you send, basically a log of everything you do online!
I thought we had seen the turn around of the police state, now it looks like we were lied to through the teeth of the smarmy faced politicians who asked us to vote for them.
Is this down to the will of the REAL rulers of this country? The people pulling the strings behind the scenes at the European parliament who have supremacy over our own elected politicians!
Cameron and Clegg - Do you have the balls to stand up and represent this country? or are you going to quietly become the puppets of our european overlords?

This article does not address the issue of carbon that is held in the soil.
Recent agricultural cultivations have released some of this but this genie could be put back in the bottle. This is well argued in the book "The Carbon Fields" by Graham Harvey.

CCS is a lot of additional cost with limited benefits if at
all.It does however mean heavy profits for suppliers of process knowhow , technology & hardware resulting in sustained professionally managed ommercial lobbying at all forums. Wind, solar energy solutions and even planting of trees looks a more trustworthy & a better solution as of date.
Recently, many politicians and businesspeople chorus like a watchword, "Consideration is paid to the environment in our circle." Surely, better existent than never. But the important thing must be whether its content is really trustworthy. This article exactly points this out and makes me reconfirm why this magazine is rated top-tier.
Trusting in your intellectual sincerity, I'd like to beg you (or insightful readers of this magazine) to teach me a few things. First, the Emissions-Trading System (ETS). Frankly speaking, I cannot erase the doubt whether this system is really fair and proper. Under the current ETS, much allowances are handed out to the industries and companies that emit much greenhouse gases. But this means that many Japanese companies that have already achieved less-emission technology get less allowances. Sharing this doubt, many Japanese companies seem to unwilling to participate in this system. Is there any idea to make this system more fair one?
And from a broader perspective, it's much urgent to make China and India, the emerging two countries both in economy and in the amount of greenhouse gases emissions, settle down to tackle the reduction. However hard developed countries make efforts to stop, or at least slow, the warming, they'll be offset by these two countries huge population unless they also burden considerable obligations. Is there any wit to persuade them to do so?
The coalplants being built over the next quarter century are expected to emit more CO2 over their lifetimes than that emitted by coal combustion since the start of the industrial revolution. Separately, the existing fleet of coalplants in the US and elsewhere aren't going away any time soon, because they use indigenous fuel and provide the lowest-cost power. Coalplants emit over a quarter of the world's CO2, a number that is rising, and unless something is done about them, the goals to curb global warming won't be met. In particular, building renewable and nuclear powerplants won't solve this problem, as they don't affect the existing plants.
One way to reduce the CO2 emissions is to retrofit the existing plants with IGCCs to provide new generating capacity. With favorable economics, enough new capacity will be needed that all of the world's coalplants could be converted by the 2030's, thereby reducing their emissions to under 3% of the world's total. To do so, they have to be less costly and more reliable than current technology, and our company is developing such a system.
Its key benefit is that most of the cost of CCS is paid for by providing new generating capacity. The plants can be built with CCS installed, or be upgraded later. The non-CCS equipment is less costly than a conventional coalplant, which means the technology is likely to be widely used in developing countries once it becomes fully commercial later in the coming decade.
CCS is expected to cost $25-35/ton of CO2 with the new technology. Carbon credits are expected to reach this in the near term, which will accelerate the acceptance of the new technology in the developed world sooner than with costlier systems. It may also be inexpensive enough to encourage the developed countries to require CCS.
Later, the same technology may be used to usher in the hydrogen economy. If used for vehicles, the fuel is likely to be cheaper than gasoline once oil exceeds $70/barrel. If a practical way to store hydrogen in cars is developed, up to 70% of the world's CO2 emissions may be eliminated this way, at a cost of less than 1% of the world's GDP. The technology can also be used to gasify solid waste and biomass, thereby reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere.
If we're going to shove large amounts of anything underground I'd rather it be air. I've heard interesting things about wind power working together with compressed air; at peak wind times, when not all of the power produced can be used, air is forced underground at high pressure. During peak energy demand, or when the wind is not blowing, the air is released, turning another set of turbines to produce electricity. It may be just as unproven as CCS, but at least it's an unproven technology to improve a clean energy source. The only people who absolutely believe this cannot work are lobbyists for the fossil fuel companies.
Today's (Mar 3) news reveals that Bush's cancellation of the Future Gen CSS project was based on a $500M overstatement of project costs. There was a 'math error' stemming from mixing constant dollars with 'then year' inflated dollars in the calculations. Whether this was intentional (they were looking for ways to cancel the project, reportedly) is uncertain. I would not put it past them.
I think sequestration technology should be pursued, but I am worried over using it for any more than an interim solution before going to inherently better energy solutions, compared to coal. We already have sequestered extremely large amounts of carbon dioxide in the oceans. As the oceans warm, the amount of carbon dioxide they will retain in solution will decline. How close are we to making the oceans a major source of carbon dioxide release?
We have every reason to believe that CCS like other fossil
fuel plants will start getting phased out by 2015-2025 period
with the new developments in solar energy. Ehrlich's I=PAT
(Impact of Human Activity) = Population x Affluence x
Technology and the IPCC formula of keeping the global carbon
emissions below 5 billion tonnes by 2050 can be maintained
(Today it is 28 billion) only if Governments pursue sensible
solar & wind energy policies.
Photovoltaic solar Cell Projects by West German companies
are being set up today in India, Taiwan and China at a
cost of around half a million dollar per MW on a commercial
scale. The installation & integration process is also expected to be similarly priced pegging the cost of finished solar energy output at a billion dollar per 1000 MW.
This cost is slightly above 2 times the cost of a fossil fired plant today. However with massproduction + China India volume markets formula the prices should crash by 2015.
I am the author of The Project Management Time Cycle: Time Cycle Module ISBN 1440493332 a 7 volume Book on Resource saving through digitization and containerisation of the
3 M (Man,Machine and Materials)resources available at amazon.
I am also working on a detailed concept paper on solar energy and invite other researchers to collaborate and share our findings for a greener and safer world.
Wind power is cheaper?
Wind power has to be backed up by fossil fueled plants. It is not cheaper. Spinning reserves must be deployed because the wind is and always will be unreliable - and if power consumers are to receive consistent power they will need backup generation from natural gas, diesel and yes coal at those times of day when the wind stops. Without storage wind power is useless, expensive, and unreliable. Nothing has changed this unfortunate dynamic despite the wild claims of environmentalists.
I am a member of the Royal Dutch Shell Group Media Relations Team:
The most aggressive scenarios for both energy efficiency and the growth of low carbon alternatives still point to the need for major volumes of oil, gas and coal to meet rising global demand for energy is the coming decades. Left unmitigated, the cumulative global carbon footprint will be dire for people and planet. Only CCS has the potential to cut the resulting CO2 emissions at the speed and scale required.
The IPCC has identified CCS as the most promising technology for the rapid reduction of global emissions - by up to 55% by 2100. Shell's mid-century [2021-2050] success case for CCS prevents the equivalent of 30 years' worth of global emissions from today's stock of planes, trains, buses, boats, lorries and hundreds of millions of cars, from entering the atmosphere. This equates to a mid-century reduction in overall CO2 levels in the atmosphere of 20 ppm.
But time is of the essence. For each year the rollout of CCS is delayed post 2020, we commit the planet to a 1 ppm increase in long-term stabilization of atmospheric CO2, thereby further limiting our chances of containing climate change.
Responsibly done, there are no technical blockers to the implementation of CCS. Transporting and injecting CO2 into subsea structures is not new. And a European Commission sponsored-network of 150 scientists at 13 public research institutes recently stated that: "the safety of CO2 storage sites tends to increase in time".
The cost of first generation major industrial facilities with CCS is too high for industry to bear alone since today CCS adds costs and yields no revenues. To bridge this funding gap, short-term economic incentives need to be put in place by governments or CCS will be delayed and unlikely to be commercialised by 2020.
Shell discusses Climate Change on our blog at http://blogs.shell.com/climatechange .
BjornU said:"do not attempt to explain how it can happen fast enough (and rate of change necessary is nothing less than daunting; consider for example the daunting resource and industry challenge of building 25 000 4MW wind turbines (or 200 000 500kW turbines) every year for the next 40 years, when the global total currently is 95 000MW)"I don't think it is necessarily so daunting, for the following reason. The instant after the time that solar panels reach grid parity there will be no reason for anyone to install them on their roofs, and why would anyone invest in a different energy production method? It would open up a huge labour force, namely, everyone who owns a house and the contractor they pay to install them (maybe all the unemployed people due to the recession?)Considering that solar panels should reach grid parity in the southern US in about 5 years, the only thing holding this back is the capacity of manufacturers to provide them in large enough volumes.Another thing we could do is give large financial incentives to help people with the initial capital investment of installing heat pumps. However, admittedly, it would take longer to install heat pumps than to simply mount solar panels on roofs. But with heat pumps on every building and solar panels on every roof, we'd have pretty much eliminated the need for external sources of energy.
Good point there, ColinCarbon - there is always the fear that people may start diverting agricultural land for forests.But I had two points to offer on that.One is that there are very very large tracts of identified waste land that can be used for this purpose. People should be forced to work on this land.Second is the rate at which the tropical rain forests are being felled is so high that the reforestation drive can do with all the help it gets.The beauty of this scheme is that it is a classic win-win. You not only clean the atmosphere - you also produce biofuel as a by product!My fear is that since no one can make big machines and equipment to "make" forests, it is something people can do on their own, it will always get swept under the carpet.Try to sell afforestation based Carbon Credits and you will see what I mean. They actually tell you "These are so cheap to produce - they will trade well below par"Its still all about "how can we earn money off this thing" not about "what do we need to do to help heal the earth"
I can't help but wonder: What caused dramaitc climate changes before there were humans on the planet?
I can't wait for some creative soul to figure out a rapid, inexpensive way to scrub CO2 out of the atmosphere and we promptly go on to starve to death all the vegetation on the planet.
Today, absolutely every ecological change is blamed on global warming, as if prior to 1850 the entire planet's ecology was in perfect, static balance. Our planet's climate is constantly changing, and we will adapt.
What we know about our planet's ecology and climate wouldn't fill a thimble compared to what we don't know, and yet in the midst of this world-wide recession we continue to talk about pouring incredible amounts of money into trying to control the weather. It makes better economic sense to adapt to climate change rather than spending a huge sum proving to ourselves that we can't control the climate.
In the end, we will have to adapt to the changing climate anyway, whether we are the primary cause of that change or not.
The first question to ask here is: how much must greenhouse gas emissions (including co2) be reduced to avoid dangerous global warming?
ANSWER: upwards from 80% by 2050, peak by 2015 (for reference: IPCC, Stern review, etc) Recent observations suggest even more stringent reduction targets are necessary (ref Jim Hansen, Schellnhuber) - if in doubt, ask hundreds of millions of people already suffering from effects of global warming. In practice, emissions must be reduced as much as possible as soon as possible. Read more here: http://www.bellona.org/articles/articles_2009/ominous_prognoses
The second question then becomes: how can emission reductions of such levels be achieved?
ANSWER: In the energy sector, supply and end-use of energy can be made much more efficient, and fossil fuels can be replaced by renewable energy sources. The shift will however take time: even the most ambitious scenarios (including Greenpeace's own scenario) do not attempt to explain how it can happen fast enough (and rate of change necessary is nothing less than daunting; consider for example the daunting resource and industry challenge of building 25 000 4MW wind turbines (or 200 000 500kW turbines) every year for the next 40 years, when the global total currently is 95 000MW). Supplementary solutions must therefore be found, to buy time to achieve the necessary shift. CCS is one such solutions, which in all scenarios that actually manage to reduce emissions by the necessary 80 percent by 2050 has an important role to play. The alternative is in essence deciding to fail in dealing with global warming. A scenario showing how emissions can be reduced by 85% by 2050 is found here: http://www.bellona.org/reports/How_to_Combat_Global_Warming
The question then becomes: how can we make sure that CCS is not used as an excuse to postpone investments in other measures to reduce emissions and continue the development of ever dirtier fossil fuel chains?
ANSWER: 'Clean coal' is certainly not an accurate term for mountain top removal coal mining practices, and CCS certainly does not make tar sands sustainable. Part of the answer is to regulate the amount of emission economic activities should be allowed, for example through an emission performance standard which would in effect mandate large point emitters to remove emissions. CCS should also be used as a leverage to achieve more stringent targets for emission reductions. It is also an urgent need to drastically increase the funding made available for investing in greenhouse gas emission mitigation in general. It is also important to distinguish clearly between carbon positive CCS (CCS used on coal to liquids and tar sands plants) and carbon negative CCS, which is CCS used in combination with biomass. If the most starkest warnings about the proportions of global warming are even slightly true, CCS becomes a vital part in achieving net negative emissions of co2 while at the same time delivering necessary energy to a growing population. CCS then enhances the climate benefit of a limited biomass resource!
In essence, the challenge of global warming requires an incredibly deep and fast change of the whole industrial system. The zero emission society really must be our goal by mid-century. No credible plan has yet been developed for how this can be achieved without CCS. Rather, CCS is a necessary crisis solution. What is urgently needed is political action to put in place funding and regulation that drastically speeds up the advance of renewable energy, energy efficiency, industrial process innovations, forest protection, and CCS.

The whole time reading this article, I kept picturing the "clean-coal factory" commercial. And in the end you already knew what I was thinking. Bravo.
Anupam Jalote has a strong point. Forests will suck out a good deal of CO2 from the atmosphere and farmers will find an incentive to plant trees under a cap and trade scheme. Analysis of the failed Lieberman-Warner cap and trade bill S. 2191 by the USEPA clearly showed this. However, there will be indirect effects of a wholesale switch from crops to trees in the U.S. and in other countries with large land resources. These include higher global food prices and flow on increases in deforestation in tropical countries and this will tend to negate the greenhouse benefits of plantations.
And when will we see cost efficient CCS for the dung burning stove?
I ran across this: Rocket scientists from California have developed a a zero emission power plant using CCS that can be cost-competitive with conventional technology. Check out http://www.cleanenergysystems.com/ and read the techical papers.
I keep wondering why the other great medium term CCS possibility is never discussed - simply plant more trees. According to the same Messers Pacala and Socolow quoted in the article, Trees and Soil are a power CO2 sequestration device.There are people who will say that this is not a permanent solution. But to them I simply offer the fact that it is a very quick, very low cost way to get a medium term (possibly lasting 50 to 75 years) reduction in the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is all the time that the world needs to evolve to a set of cleaner energy solutions.Therefore these trees will give the world the necessary breathing space (all puns intended :)) to control its emissions.Also, if you select the trees carefully and plant hardy trees that can survive on semiarid lands, and produce non-edible oil seeds, then you have the basics in place for a sustainable, second generation biofuel - biodiesel.So why the silence on this front?

A question for you all

I'm sitting here contemplating if everything we know is actually wrong, for that matter if everything that is wrong with this world is actually right, if there is a time and a place for everything or just a wrong place for a wrong time. Confusing? KNow you know how I feel. How most of us feel I'm sure.
I as much as anyone else would love to believe that disclosure could be possible. Let's face it while I do beleive that evolution exists, I think that the creators whom put us here call it something different. Maybe we are looked upon as apes, barbaric in all of our glory, hence i guess Darwins ruff and troubled times of sitting on a glorious paradise drowing his sorrors everyday in rum and fusion fishing wouldn't have gone to waste.
From all the years I've spent researching, watching countless video, reading endless documents, one thing always comes back to bite me in the ass like a cold vicious redhot bite from a doberman pincher.
THE HIGHEST OF AMOUNTS EVERYONE ELSE BUT ME is PROFITTING FROM in this SUPPOSED FREE INFORMATION SOCIETY!
1- Galactic Federation of light (or vice versa)- For countless years have been letting us know about imminent disclosure within the year. Yet that disclosure every single year never comes. October 14 2008, december 25 2009, were someof the latest failed predictions. Yet lets research a bit more, whom has products to sell? OH YOU GUESSED it!!!
I keep going back day after day just to see what everyone else has been saying, and god forbid if these two seemingly great people could actually put together a half assed propper conference or radio show, or taped interview without something going awefully wrong, and blaming it on the P.T.B. for blocking their aud/video equipment from the 1970's, then I'd start listening more carefully. That aside, one of'em has CD's for you to buy.hrm, yes that project camelot intro song that has made all of our ears and eyes bleed is actually Kerry's song, I do give my hats off to you guys for profitting more than you let on from most of us out there, just a week or two ago there were donations being sought to fund there trip over seas (the EAST)...Almost every single contributor (whistleblower) listed on thier website has...you guessed it, A WEBSITE! with what on that WEBSITE? DVD's Books, shirts, I "heart UFo" bumper stickers, coffee mugs, eraser heads, transcripts, research documents, just about everything you can think of to put a face to a name and some poppycock to the fruitbowl.
I could go on and on, but the two examples listed above are for that purpose only (not a particular attack), an example a huge generalization - YES I CAN - in a ever growing field sitting back on the cash crop that lies beneath them.
It's easy to convert a story, give it a "timeline" and give everyone hope, and when it passes us by yet again, its easy to revert the story, change the "timeline" and continue to sit at the gentlemans club with the cigars and Drambuie in hand laughing away fat-cat-ishly! I almost purposely forgot about the infamous "source".
In our society we strive on getting the information out there, FREE OF CHARGE! While clever ones have figured out how to manipulate and cash in on one of our areas that is all about spreading the TRUTH! FREELY!
I think its time we start asking for the HARDER EVIDENCE, the more concrete proof. Questions during an interview shouldnt be half ass stoned questions rather, hard pounding, GIVE ME CONCRETE PROOF! EVIDENCE, and stop hiding behind your "SOURCE" (scapegoat) or hazed-pixelated photographs!
One thing, my heart goes out to an old time fellow ATS'er JOHN LEAR (we'll leave the ATS issue behind),
This man, still stands for the FREEDOM OF TRUE INFORMATION! Not one t- shirtt, not one dvd, not one document to purchase from him! There are many more like him, but far more wishing to make a quick buck. An ode to reality! Money and the demise of our own greed!
MY HAT GOES OFF TO You SIR!

*Note: This opinion is purely personal. It stems from personal experience
Humans have a problem: They are unable to know on their own the answers to questions they ask themselves. This is why they are seeking truths that are outside of their inner knowing. The seeking of truth serves as security for the ego and it may result in frustration when no answers are coming. The ego has the tendency to acquire knowledge and to feel secure with this knowledge, that is indisputable.
The quest for disclosure is nothing but a false need of securing the mind which doesn't know.
Just my 2 cents

I starred and flagged you but I'm not sure why, maybe your passion for the truth.
However I think you've given into cynicism a bit too much and to negative stereotypes and myths, in which the community is supposedly full of "fat cats" drinking "Drambuie" and laughing at us while they count the millions supposedly rolling in from sales of DVD's and t-shirts.
That's a quick, easy and IMO rather silly stereotype to buy into, which satisfies many peoples cynicism and lazynesss - which I'll get to.
I'm not saying there isn't some truth to these criticisms in some cases, but you've way overblown them, IMO, as many people do. People just love negativity. But in your case I more sense frustration taking a rather negative outlet in which "they" are to blame.
What about you? You want to know the truth. Find it. Stop relying on people and then blaming them when you feel they didn't do your job adequately enough, or when they dare to need money to accomplish it, or when some even exploit you.
Knowing the truth and finding the truth is
responsibility, so quit bitching and go to it

Please I don't mean to be a smart @ss but what was the question?
If you are waiting for disclosure don't hold your breath.
Expecting a world leader to step up to a microphone and say we"We have something to tell you." won't happen.
My opinion on this is it would be like one of them telling us, "you know that big bright hot thing in the sky?That's the sun."
Basically why tell you something that everyone knows it does exists.
Geez, look at through the years of print media and electronic media have there been stories,movies,sitcoms about these encounters.
It is already in the human pysche that there are visitors to this planet.
They are here. They have been for as long as humans have decided to build shelters to warm themselves at night.
Documented in stories and pictures.
For ever.
They left a message in the high desert to tell us they came here.
There are encounters with them DAILY somewhere on this planet.
What do you think they(TPTB) would say.
We spoke with them and they think we are all idiots who fight and hate each other for no known reason.
But there is intelligent life on this earth.
If you could weigh all the living organism's on this planet.
1/4 of the weight would be Ants.
Yes, Ants!
I think you are looking at the wrong web sites for the answers.

Well as I stated...PC and GFOL, were just two examples of MANY!
I mean even here through ATS there are forms of advertising and whatnot. Now I understand to run a successful wesbite there are costs, but there comes a time and a place for everything, and in my opinion there are just far too many people exploiting a certain area that is just gaining and gaining in popularity, and do you know what...
The main reason for this popularity (waking up) is due to 9/11.
It opened many doors andminds to which were closed prior to 9/11.
Since then people have become less cynical and more optimistic of what may lie ahead, more egar to spread the truth and talk about theories of UFO`s and conspiracies during dinner parties aside from the usual: debate over`Least action in classical mechanics` and if they can be solved using quantum fluctuations! (by the way: Least action in classical mechanics is about TIME-SPACE viewpoints! very interesting stuff, for those of you who can`t find out for yourself! NPI-well maybe just a little.)
I remain FRUSTRATED, not cynical, not uninformed, rather highly researched. In a nutshell what I was tired of PEOPLE PROFITTING (thus basically laughing in all of our faces) from (hopefully) such an important event I was also asking for us to stand UP ask 4 MORE CONCRETE EVIDENCE! With todays technology and freethinkers a use of a`SOURCE` or a (HAZE) sloopy picture of something we can`t really make out is simply Unacceptable. I have tried to develop up close photos of the moon without any success. Wanting to comeon ATS and share something trully special.
From Seagate to Mantra to what Howard Zinn thought of what he actually was doing at a time when he was told it was for the greater good. To project Ohm and what they are really doing for those whom care.
Also here`s an interesting read:

I'm sorry but as many lectures as John Lear gives he recieves fees for those does he not? As long as anyone is getting paid in any respect it's hard not to have doubts about their true intent. The GFL and project Camelot seem like they are completely nuts. I have a hard time believing anything without empirical evidence. But these guys are soo far out there it blows my mind.
I think there is real information out there but it's hidden unintentionally by all of these whackjob websites trying to make a buck off peoples hopes and fears.

Helmut Newton Foundation Exhibits 394 Photographs Included in Newton's Book Sumo
Domestic Nude I, In my kitchen, Chateau Marmont, Hollywood, 1992 © Helmut Newton Estate.
With SUMO, the
Helmut Newton Foundation
presents what might just be the most spectacular and expensive photography book project ever. Ten years ago, publisher Benedikt Taschen persuaded Helmut Newton to agree to produce a gigantic book with a print run of 10,000 copies, all signed by the photographer. Accompanied by a custom-made book holder by Philippe Starck, the book found its way into the homes of well-heeled buyers.
Now, for the first time, its 394 photographs will go on display to mark the 10th anniversary of a photography publication that today is a much sought-after collectors item. To accompany this presentation, Taschen will publish a smaller and revised version of the book for the regular book market.
In addition to SUMO, Mark Arbeit, George Holz and Just Loomis will be presented at the Helmut Newton Foundation with their photography under the title Three boys from Pasadena. In the late 70s, they were students at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and later became assistants of Helmut Newton.
In recent years, the photo book has attracted particular appreciation, not least of all through Martin Parrs The Photobook: A History that examines some quite unusual photographic publications. A growing number of collectors have turned to this new field, and some photo books can fetch sums that are dazzling. At photo fairs from Paris to New York, photo book dealers appear in increasing frequency with especially valuable publications in tow.
One of the most outstanding photo books of the last decade is Helmut Newtons SUMO, which appeared in 1999 in poster format with 464 pages and considerable weight. It was Benedikt Taschen who convinced the photographer to this publishing feat; it proved to be a smash hit. Philippe Starck crafted the metal stand for this extraordinary publication that appeared in an edition of 10,000 copies, all personally signed by Newton. The sales price matches the format and exclusivity of the photo book, and has found its way into the hands of only the best-endowed Newton enthusiasts. The limited availability contributed to the books legendary status, the contents remained mostly unknown.
The some 400 photographs in the book, many of which were published here for the first time, capture the essence of Newtons work. His first and award-winning photo book in 1976, White Women, was followed by numerous publications with decidedly descriptive titles, such as 1981s Big Nudes, whose circulation of over 100,000 copies to date has been Newtons most successful book; or World Without Men from 1984. At irregular intervals between 1987 and 1995, Helmut Newton published his own magazine and showcase for his newest images, Helmut Newtons Illustrated.
But it was with SUMO that the Newton/Taschen team topped them all in the field of photo books. Such monumental tomes already existed in the history of books and bookmaking, but these were bibles, books of hours and atlases, followed later in the second half of the 19th century by illustrated travelogues with inserts of original large format prints.
This presentation of the corpus of images comprising SUMO traces the books unique history. All of the books pictures appear 1:1 as framed pages; additionally, there is a selection of original photographs, in black & white and color. Still other prints document the books own elaborate production and glamorous presentation. Newtons fashion and nude photography, portraiture as well as advertising images hang side by side in equal standing. Some of these images can be found in other Newton publications, while others premiered in the book and may only now for the first time be seen on exhibit.
This best of selection overlooks not a single aspect of Newtons opus. His portraits are intensely individual: Debra Winger returns our gaze while her half-hidden face fills the frame; David Bowie stoically bares his chest on the beach at Monte Carlo; and Liz Taylor bathes in the pool for Newtons camera, a green parrot perched on her finger. Helmut Newton visually escorted the exclusive and eccentric lives of the rich and beautiful including all of its eroticism and gluttony. While doing so, he both served and questioned the clichés at the same time.
In order to understand both his work and the vehement reactions it often evoked, one should try to imagine the cultural tenor and the dominant public conventions at the time of their publication. It is only then that the controversy and provocation of many photographs fully emerges. In the early 1970s for example, his portrayal of two women passionately kissing the one naked, the other in a tuxedo was seen as a direct affront on social mores. It is since these times that Helmut Newton became known for his insertion of subtle as well as radical nudity into his fashion and product photography.
Finding the borders and overstepping them belong to the trademark of the photographer who scorns in constant battle the established notions of good taste. With his close-up reduction of a black stiletto heel, or the bulging fingers of a womans hand reaching greedily for dollar bills, Newton succeeded in producing symbolic images beyond compare. Helmut Newtons seminal work remains singular and nonpareil. It is at the very latest while perusing SUMO that one realizes just how many icons of photographic history the photographer has indeed created.
As with previous exhibitions at the Helmut Newton Foundation, the work of Newtons companions will be presented in parallel to SUMO. Mark Arbeit, George Holz and Just Loomis were students at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, when they met Newton in the late 1970s; later they would assist him regularly.
Now in their first group exhibition, the three boys from Pasadena have been invited by June Newton to present a selection of their own photographic work. This will be complemented with memorabilia from their decades-long and close friendship with Helmut and June Newton.
Some of Mark Arbeits pictures are formally quite unusual. In his photo-technical experiments with deconstructed Polaroids enlarged onto photo paper, he reveals the other, flip side of the photographic image and its creation. Here and in his collages with African tribal art, Arbeit makes reference to experimental phases in the history of nude photography, for example in Surrealism. In another series, he portrays nudes in Parisian artist ateliers. The painters themselves are absent, represented only through their works on the easels and walls. The nudes in the studio medially paraphrase the paintings through their presence.
In addition to his contract celebrity portraiture that includes the likes of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Madonna, George Holz also looks to the female form, naked and life-sized, in interiors or natural settings. Some of his more stylized images evoke stills from early Fritz Lang films, while others are strictly unaccessorized such as his photograph of Rachele, reclining poolside in Hollywood. The reciprocal sexual attraction often evident in his images evokes a pastoral affinity reaching towards a mystical fusion of man and nature. What captures Holzs eye here is timeless, natural nudity, occasionally cast by refined shadows varying subtly across the bodys surfaces.
Just Loomis opts for a direct and unadorned look at American everyday life. In black & white and color, we see the faces of young waitresses, skateboarders or passers-by looking back at us, uninvolved and unaffected. Independent projects that have emerged from his magazine work in fashion and beauty, such as his documentations of the fashion industry backstage or images from on the road, are now on display at the Helmut Newton Foundation. Hardly anything seems staged these are intensely visual encounters with strangers. Timeless and yet contemporary, the portraits of Just Loomis play with the beauty and the banality of the moment.

Young Apprentice semi-finalists sums up this week's Apprentice Episode 3 in his exclusive review for Yahoo! omg!
The Apprentice is BAQUE for another Wednesday night. (Yes I know how to spell "back" but I thought I'd be edgy with my spelling... *awkward*)
Anyway, episode 3 and we see a blonde from Northampton losing the first three tasks. omg! I'm back on The Apprentice? I DID NOT GET THIS MEMO. Oops... That's because it wasn't me. This likeliness between my female counter-part Katie Wright and I is kinda giving me the creeps...
Anyhow, Gabrielle Omar answers the Telephone of doom and gathers the troops for their sauce making task. One glitch.. Gabi is donning a fairly tidy shirt/ dress combo... everyone else is in pyjamas. Yes. That's right. GABRIELLE OMAR CLEARLY SLEPT IN HER BUSINESS DRESS. Non-stop action ferocious tiger right here. (I like her).
So onto the Apprentice Episode 3 task... Katie Wright (Not Me) takes charge of the boys, and Duane Bryan (who makes me think of the has-been singer Shaggy), the girls. Both perform well but there were glitches. Katie spells her brand "Belissimo" wrong and Jane McEvoy (the Irish babe) messes up the numbers on the other team. I mean really... how hard is it? We're not asking you to differentiate the complex integral here.... This is SPELLING AND SUMS and they're getting it wrong. You can hear Lord Shuga banging the table already *Tulisa style*.
Anyway let's get down to BIZNEZ and the blaaaaady maney. Katie's team produce lots (not as much as planned albeit) but Michael struggles to shift it. Duane's team execute both adequately and come out with a win.
This leaves Katie, Ricky Martin and Michael Copp in the final 3. Ricky didn't produce as much sauce as hoped for and Michael did sweet FA (Note Karren Brady and Lord Sugar like football - WHY AM I SO HILARIOUS ALL THE TIME!?)
I kind of missed the boardroom chat, glances between Ricky Martin and Katie meant I could only think of the "She Bangs" lyrics. Anyway Michael got the boot.
My faves to win at the moment are Katie Wright and Duane Bryan. While Nick Holzherr, Ricky Martin and Tom Gearing are growing on me in that order. Azhar Siddique and Jenna Whittingham are the weakest in my eyes at the moment; purely because I haven't seen much of what their skillsets are.
WAIT. I only just mentioned Jenna... She really wasn't in this episode much. No northern twang and whiny Harry present. I secretly miss it. But shhhhhhh.
Onto next week. Until then I'll be livin' da vi da loca.

Roadburn is honored and proud to welcome for their first ever European performance, d.USK, the final embodiment of diSEMBOWELMENT, whom will play an exclusive set of diSEMBOWELMENTs legendary funeral doom opus, Transcendence into the Peripheral.

I expect it will be the one and only time that it will ever happen! Says drummer Paul Mazziotta, Although we cannot give the fans 100% of the original lineup, Matt and I have put together a band we are very proud of, and is committed to delivering the classic material with pure integrity, energy, passion. Timeless, classic, and immeasurably influential, Transcendence into the Peripheral remains a groundbreaking work that typifies the Roadburn Festivals love of the powerful and ambitious. d.USK is pleased to present this celebrated body of work to Roadburns mainstage on Thusday, 12 April, 2012 at the 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland. |

If one were wealthy, or the Sultan, then horses were utilized. The most common beast of burden ridden or used to carry provisions, was either a mule or the donkey. Donkeys were ridden either astride or by sitting sidewise on them. [see photo below.] The only saddle was a woven cloth. Jade's mother went up the Atlas on one of these little animals in The Serpent's Daughter and Jade dodged them in the narrow streets of Marrakech as the drivers shouted balek! as a warning cry to get out of the way.
But in Jade's time as now, the most predominant mode of transport in Morocco was a person's own two legs. Even in my trip during 2006, people could be seen walking in the Atlas mountains in the middle of nowhere, with no village in sight or alongside of the major roads between distant towns. Others can be seen resting in the shade along the way. [see above photo.] In that way at least, Jade's time still exists today.

Natural Care of Fruit Trees
Getting to Know Your Fruit Trees Time to Prune Fruit Trees |
Hello fellow Earthlings and welcome to the second installment of "My Fruits' Better Than Your Fruit". In this installment we will be covering "Dormant Spraying" of our deciduous fruit trees in order to help with disease control and the controlling of some boring insect pests. So let's take a walk down by the fruit trees...
At this time of year we should remember that the things that we do now affect the fruit crop we are expecting this spring and summer. This is why we should place a great deal of importance on the dormant treatment of our trees. Now is the easiest time of year to fight insect and disease problems because they are as inactive as the tree is. The trees are much easier to work in when they are without leaves as well. Let's take a look at some dormant sprays at this time.
Copper Sulfate- This is the most versatile of the dormant spray products and it is approved for use in certified organic agriculture. This product can be used on all of your dormant spraying projects without fear of problems. Remember that copper is the trace element that makes fruit sweet, so don't worry if you are liberal with the application. As with all commercial products, use this material only after reading the label and application directions thoroughly.
Lime/sulfur- Excellent dormant spray and this product is also good for use on active powdery mildew problems. Can be used on most dormant spraying applications, however do not use lime/ sulfur on your apricot trees. Lime/ sulfur also has some insecticidal value and can be used to control hibernating bad guys on your trees.
Baking Soda- This one is my favorite. Good old fashioned Arm and Hammer Baking soda mixed with water, a little copper sulfate and a couple of drops of dish soap is my favorite concoction for dormant spraying. If you just want to use the baking soda, go ahead, but you will need the soap as a wetting agent so the spray clings to the plants that you are spraying. Use the baking soda at an application rate of between six and eight tablespoons per gallon water. I also like to mix baking soda with three tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of prepared spray. The hydrogen peroxide effervesces and gets a lot of the overwintering fungi and disease causing bacteria in the cracks and crevices of the tree.
Always use prepared products per the instructions on the label provided by the manufacturer. This will assure proper usage of the product and better results in the garden.
Last time we discussed the treatment of the soil and feeding of our fruit trees. Now that that project has been completed and we've decided which type of dormant spray we will be using , this is probably as good a time as any to get to work. Take your hose end sprayer or your conventional pump sprayer down to the fruit trees and begin spraying. I like to start at the trunk of the tree and give it a real good coat of spray before I do the rest of the tree. This is the most important part of the tree to thoroughly coat, so I do it first. Coat the rest of the tree equally as well and then move on to the next. After all of the trees have been sprayed, clean up your sprayer and grab all the stuff, store it in a dry spot because we will be needing to repeat this operation two more times during the cool season. If you do not own a good pump sprayer, I strongly suggest you invest the money in one. They are normally less than thirty dollars and will last for years and years. I really like using pump sprayers for dormant spraying because they are more reliable than hose-end models.
I promise that this will not interrupt your plans for Super Bowl Sunday. By that time your fruit trees will be ready to go and all you'll have to do is water. Dormant spraying your fruit trees only takes a little while and the results will definitely please you in the coming summer.
Next time we will be covering pruning techniques for our fruit trees. That will be the final installment on this subject until mid-spring. We go to the rose garden for the entire month of January. See you in the Garden!

DNA tests have confirmed that a grizzly bear father and polar bear mother have produced what some people are calling a "pizzly."
Thought to be the first documented incident in the wild, this bear (found in Canada) features the characteristics of each parent.
Now, grizzly and polar bears (as well as other bear species) have been interbred in zoos and have produced fertile offspring. Such interbreeding confirms the close relationship of the bear kind. The pizzly bear contains the genetic makeup of both of its parents, but it has not in any way evolved into another creature.
This interbreeding should not be a surprise to Christians since God did tell the animal kinds to reproduce after their own kind (Genesis 1:24). The pizzly bear is still a bear—a truth that confirms what God clearly teaches in the Scriptures.

No. 18 Stanford, Arizona both look to bounce back |
Written by Admin |
Friday, 05 October 2012 09:33 |
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Any doubts David Shaw had about how his young Stanford team would respond to last week's stunning 17-13 loss at Washington ended 48 hours later. While coaches held a meeting to discuss recruiting, the short run players go for two nights after every game took on a different tone. Word spread back to Shaw that players were particularly ``fired up, jacked up, excited about it and got after it.'' The real test of that resolve will come Saturday when No. 18 Stanford (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) holds its homecoming game against Arizona (3-2, 0-2), a program remodeled under new coach Rich Rodriguez that is facing an equally critical tilt in its season after two straight losses. |

A referring professional or potential client, partner or significant other may telephone the Clinical Manager of the Adult Services to discuss the suitability of the referral and to answer any questions about the referral process. The referring professional will require the consent of the client that may be referred, if identifying information about the clients circumstances are to be discussed with the Clinical Manager. Click here for information on STOP's policies on Privacy and Confidentiality.
When a completed referral form is submitted and appears appropriate, including identification of a funding stream, the referral will be placed on a waitlist. The referrer will be advised of the receipt of the referral and then updated on its progress on the waitlist. We do our best to see clients as soon as is possible. However sometimes factors such as sentencing requirements, client numbers, risk, safety concerns etc mean that clients referrals may be moved up or down the waitlist.
Once the case has been allocated, a referral meeting between STOP, referral agent and the individual with his partner/signficant other will take place. This meeting clarifies the process about to be undertaken with agreed targets for the man and his family to focus on. Both undergo assessment and a feedback meeting is undertaken to provide in-depth feedback to the referral agent as well as the assessment report.
The STOP clinician will make contact with the client and the referrer when an assessment time becomes available and arrange to meet with the client to further assess suitability for the programme. Assessment interviews take approximately 5 - 6 hours and may be scheduled over several sessions. All the assessment information is then presented in a report that is available to the client and referrer. If found suitable, the client will be invited to join the treatment programme which runs for minimum of 52 weeks or for up to two years for the ALPS (Assisted Learning Programme).

Forensic officials in Rhode Island on Thursday confirmed that the body found in the Providence River was that of Indian-American student Sunil Tripathi, who has been missing since mid-March.
"A forensic dental examination confirmed the identification (of Tripathi)," said Dara Chadwick, a spokesperson for the State Health Department.
"The cause of death is pending further studies, which could take several months," she was quoted as saying by the Providence Journal newspaper.
No signs of trauma were initially found, the police said.
Tripathi, a Brown University student, was last seen on March 16. He left his cell phone, ID and wallet in his room, where he was last seen by his roommate.
On Wednesday, Rhode Island police pulled a man's body from the Providence River and suspected it to be of Tripathi.
Meanwhile, a grief stricken Tripathi family on Thursday expressed "incredible gratitude" to all those who helped in their search operation over the past month.
"On April 23, our beloved Sunil was discovered in the waters off India Point Park in Providence, Rhode Island," the Tripathi family said in a statement.
"As we carry indescribable grief, we also feel incredible gratitude. To each one of you — from our hometown to many distant lands — we extend our thanks for the words of encouragement, for your thoughts, for your hands, for your prayers, and for the love you have so generously shared," the family said.

I have been a happy amateur photographer for most of my adult life. My first camera was a Minolta SLR which I inherited from my mother. For the last ten years I have been using digital cameras and recently got the new Nikon D7000 which I am very happy with. I love to go for walks in my neighborhood and make photographs. I live and study in Oslo, Norway together with my family. |
